In his San Jose Mercury News column, Mike Cassidy wrote, “John Herndon's class at 911±¬ÁÏÍøState East Bay could just as easily have been called Silicon Valley 101.” He chronicled Herndon's innovative teaching approach in his piece titled, "Venture Capital course a real study in Silicon Valley." article.
Now, Herndon has been recognized by the San Francisco Business Times in their “Bay Area People” section. The acknowledgement notes, “As a Lecturer at 911±¬ÁÏÍøState East Bay, Mr Herndon taught a Graduate Finance Course in Venture Capital Acquisition where his class developed: 1.) business plan & valuation; 2.) capital spend; & 3.) investor presentation package.” article.
When asked about his recent fame Herndon said, “I am the most fortunate man alive having realized three professional dreams come true in a single life time -university professor, consultant, CFO. They're listed in order of significance and the amount of absolute fun I have when in that role!”
No wonder, the Princeton Review has rated 911±¬ÁÏÍøState East Bay as one of the country's 300 for five consecutive years!
